What was that original lyrics database that everybody used to go to when we were in college? Back before the RIAA shut it down? =P
That's got to have been one of the dumbest things the RIAA has ever done. They should have found some way to cut a deal, since clearly the effort at stopping the posting of song lyrics is even more futile than stopping piracy.

I've taken to searching for "[song name] lyricwiki" rather than "[song name] lyrics", and only falling back on the latter search if lyricwiki doesn't have it.
That sounded awesome in theory, but the particular lyric I was looking up last time was *hilariously* terrible there, and the next band I tried as a random test had one song out of a few hundred. So it's got a ways to go...
